Andrew Sharp and Braylon Wagner both rushed for more than 100 yards, and Rudy Morris and Nico Mauro took interceptions back for touchdowns as W&J College topped Allegheny, 56-3, Saturday afternoon. The Presidents led, 7-3, after one quarter but scored three times in the second and third periods to blow the game open. Joey DeSabato caught a pair of scoring passes and Sharp scored on a pair of short runs to build the W&J lead to 28-3 at the half. After Wagner scrambled for an 18-yard score to open the third, Morris and Mauro turned back-to-back Allegheny possessions into W&J scores.  Morris ran 50-yards with his Pick Six, Mauro sprinted home from 89 yards out.  W&J remains atop the PAC standings, now 4-0 in the league with four games to play. Grove City is also unbeaten in the league and comes to Cameron Stadium Oct. 31, likely with the conference title going to the winner.

BOSTON (AP) — Mason McKenzie threw for two touchdowns and Boston College recovered from a miserable opening two minutes of the game, beating Pittsburgh 27-21. McKenzie went 17-for-28 passing with 295 yards and two inceptions for the Eagles. Making his first career start after QB Mason Heintschel was lost for the season with a torn ACL in his right knee during a victory at Virginia Tech two weeks ago, true freshman Corey Dailey completed 11 of 25 passes for 193 yards with two interceptions and a TD for Pittsburgh.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Tommy Carr converted a third down on a 12-yard touchdown run with 2:58 left to play, giving Michigan a two-score lead it needed in a 21-18 win over Penn State. Bryce Underwood was benched by coach Kyle Whittingham at halftime and Carr was put in the game to provide a spark and the grandson of College Football Hall of Famers delivered. The Wolverines were scoreless in the first half after they punted three times and Underwood was picked off twice.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Mike Hawkins Jr. threw for a career-high 464 yards and Jack Cassidy kicked a 35-yard field goal as time ran out to lift West Virginia to a wild 45-42 win over Cincinnati on Saturday.  The teams combined for 1,220 yards of offense. It marked the fourth consecutive game for West Virginia in which the teams surpassed 1,000 yards.  The Bearcats outgained West Virginia 622-598 but fell apart down the stretch.  The Mountaineers offense continues to shine with the one-two punch of Hawkins and Cook. But the defense needs some serious improvement if the Mountaineers are hoping to become bowl eligible.  In West Virginia’s three previous games, the Mountaineers combined for 1,075 yards with Oklahoma State, 1,095 yards with Iowa State and 1,004 yards with Arizona.  “It’s very frustrating to know that we have some pieces in place but we also have a lot of work to do, obviously,” Rodriguez said.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Mark Stone had a goal and two assists, and the Vegas Golden Knights extended their strong start by romping past the slumping Pittsburgh Penguins 6-2. The Golden Knights are 8-2 for the third time in franchise history. Their other such starts ended in trips to the Stanley Cup Final — in 2018 under coach Gerard Gallant and in 2023 under Bruce Cassidy. The loss continued a rough four-game trip for the Penguins, who are 0-3 and have been outscored 16-7.
